I mean, this is what they are effectively are doing to us (they = management) - they give us less hours so my wages go down and it's really hard to make ends meeting nowadays. I'd say that this is almost like a partial layoff - Imagine if you were to work two part time jobs at 20 hours each and if one was to let you go - you would count this as partially unemployed.
Sad, nobody cares about the worker any more. People are angry.
